I hope to record what I see and sketch on my daily walks around my home in Rural South Australia

Some times you have to play

and just go with the flow and see where it will lead you.This is what I ended up with, it was fun and took only a few minutes, I may put a wash of colour over it at some time but at the moment it pleases me.Internet woes,busy nights and days and I have not posted for a few days.To day it is overcast, cold and drizzly and heaven knows when the towels I put on the line will ever dry.We had a lovely morning walk, I went down to inspect the new foal and am about to vacuum, Oscar is losing a huge amount of hair and it is every where, again! He is such a big cat and even though he doesnt have a fluffy coat there seems to be ginger hairs on everything.We went to dinner with friends last night and had a few adventures getting there, these are mostly dirt roads, and back ones at that, and we did manage to dodge all the livestock but there were kangaroos, cattle and for a first two fallow dear shot across in front of us. I know there are a lot of escaped deer around but so far I have never seen one. I believe further down the peninsular there are big ones, wouldnt want to put one of those across the car.I am slowly getting a few things done and sorted out but I have no doubt that I will be in an awful muddle again in a few days. I feel there is no point in clearing out my work room for guests until just before they come, as I will no doubt want what I have cleared away to the bottom of the pile.John keeps telling me we need a clearing sale.This is a snippet of a poem written by a neighbour, Roger McKnight.SpringSimple pleasures simply come,and this is one -blossom snowing from a plumtree, in the sun!
